English Dub Review: I’m Living With an Otaku NEET Kunoichi?! “Somehow I Started Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi; Somehow a Perverted Kunoichi Showed Up”

Overview

Our Take

For the first half, this episode introduces a new kunoichi whose arrival brings a storm of bad luck, romantic chaos, and comedic tension to Shizuri and Tsukasa’s already unpredictable lives. Hina’s insecurity sets off a chain of misunderstandings, while Shizuri grapples with everything from domestic disasters to unexpected rivals, all under the watchful eye of a nosy neighbor obsessed with romcoms. Amid the absurdity, there are heartfelt moments of connection and growth, even as the plot takes a backseat to slapstick antics and chaotic charm.

The second half shifts focus to an unexpected clash outside their apartment, where Tsukasa finds himself in real danger with no backup in sight. Another kunoichi, quirky and unpredictable, makes a dramatic return, bringing chaos, secrets, and some wild comedic energy. What should’ve been a straightforward confrontation turns into a hilarious spiral of misunderstandings, surprise reveals, and some very questionable behavior, all while Shizuri naps through most of the chaos…

Overall, this show continues to embrace its absurdly charming tone, blending offbeat humor with small glimpses of character depth. The addition of new personalities keeps the ensemble fresh, and the interactions, despite how unhinged, offer a quirky spin on both romantic and action anime tropes, while the core cast’s eccentric chemistry keeps the story fast-paced and unpredictable.
